Afflicted by J.M. Snyder

J.M. Snyder could make you laugh, like in The Positions of Love series, but when she decides to make you cry, well she does a very good job!

In this short story, less then 15 pages, the two characters don't have a name. They are Lover and Cutter for me. Lover is a good boy, an head to heart boy, I could think at him like an athlete or some other All American boy. And he loves Cutter. Cutter is a shy guy, maybe with some unresolved conflicts in his life, perhaps with his family. He loves Lover, but sometime, in the long hour of night, he is so lonely and he feels a great pain, and he has to exorcize that pain. He cuts himself, hoping that the physical pain helps him to forget the mental one.

Will Lover be enough strong for both of them to save his little Cutter?

A very short story, but you have to read it, it's heartbreaking.

You're right. When J.M. wants to make you cry, she does a really good job! I was sobbing near the end of Undertow! My roommate asked me if I was OK. Lol.

This sounds like another good read! Thank you!

Elisa,
Whenever I talk gay love stories with friends, I feel I have to recommend Comfort and Joy by Jim Grimsley. I don't think it's available by e-book, but here is the info from amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Joy-Jim-Grimsley/dp/1565123964/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202346488&sr=1-9

It's really only a short story, but it's tender and a bit sad. I like it. Elisa
